Rail roads and their tracks.

I saw some guys video on this tunnel so I made a waypoint. I visited this back in October while camping in the area. This is maybe 10 miles west of Williams AZ. Lat 35.24684 Lon 112.33375

Wow, that looks interesting. How long was the tunnel?

Was it a narrow gauge RR?

Train hits barge... that's a new one.

Cleanup underway in Lee County after barge-train collision sends train cars into Mississippi River

A Burlington Northern Santa Fe train derailed after striking the nose of a barge that was on the main track, according to BNSF officials.

This is close to me and I ride it every summer, sometimes twice. It’s said to be the best scenic bike trail in the USA. The 15 mile trail has 7 sky high trestles and 10 tunnels with one straddling the Idaho & Montana border and is 1.66 miles long! Breathtaking every time I go!

Wow!

Anyone ever see or ride over the three firesteel river abandoned railway trestles in the Up? It's pretty neat site, fun ride, and it's in the Midwest. They reporpused them for snowmobile and orv use.

I live near where the train hit the barge and derailed. It’s been on the local news for the last few days.

Due to recent Rain, Flooding, Washouts, and Mudslides, many regions and highways in British Columbia Canada are currently under a state of emergency with evacuation orders (in one or two cases, entire towns / cities). We are not in any immediate danger where we are, however travel is very restricted or impossible.

It was a difficult Summer with the Wildfires just a few short months ago, and now this wetness.

Here is a photo taken yesterday, on the main Coquihalla Highway / Trans - Canada through the mountains. YIKES

the railroad is normally well above the highway. We do this drive several times each year.

Stay Safe everyone.

We had a beautiful day today.

Amazing! I wonder if we could even build something like that anymore with the entire generations of welders, steel erectors, and train/track building companies mostly now done by foreign countries?
Almost worth a trip across the country to enjoy that!
The video alone was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Must have made an amazing train ride….
